He said one of his first campaigns would be to have a visitor centre and museum built at the Battle of Britain bunker at the old RAF Uxbridge site – a project Hillingdon Council allocated money for in its last budget.

Mr Johnson also said he would "see what I can do" about creating step-free access at all London Underground stations within the constituency.

On HS2, he said he was pleased the project proposals now included a tunnel underneath Ruislip, but said he would be campaigning for tunnels extending further.

Summing up, Mr Johnson said: “I've represented the area already for seven years and there's a lot that we've done together with the council, and I want to continue to do more to make sure that we do things for the high street, for businesses, to help cut business rates, and preserve people's quality of life and improve it."

"Obviously I recognise that while people did vote for me, there are also loads of people who didn't. And the key message I want to get out is I will serve absolutely everybody faithfully and well, and work very hard and do my absolute best to deliver for the area.”
